The empty space that used to house the Rolls Royce dealership, just south of the Ferrari showroom on the Avenue Road facade of
Hazelton Lanes, has a new occupant.
Palais Royale, ultimately a house and home store but for now mostly a high-end bedding boutique, opened April 21, expanding from a three-year-old 800 square foot space inside the mall to this 2,300 square foot space with 25-foot ceilings.
"We really jumped the ladder on this one," says Avi Narang, the owner and manager, of the significant increase in space, which he estimates cost $250,000 to renovate. He says he decided to keep a little bit of the ceilings, but changed everything else from its days as one of the city's highest-end automotive showrooms.
